Brutalist jewellery was popular from the mid 1960's until the early 1980's. Goldsmiths experimented with melting gold under controlled temperatures. The result was a profusion of new textures; as well as plain, smoothed or sandblasted gold, the metal was chiselled, reeded, hammered, corded and braided, and made to resemble bark, sand, and faux nugget finishes, along with geometric shapes and seemingly haphazard arrangements of elements.
